Resolution Recognizing May 21-27 as “Public Works Week in Pennsylvania”

In the future, I intend to introduce a resolution designating May 21-27, 2017 as “Public Works Week in Pennsylvania” to coincide with “National Public Works Week.”

Public Works professionals work behind the scenes to make our communities healthier, safer and improve the overall quality of life of our citizens in Pennsylvania and across the nation. Therefore, it is important to recognize those individuals whom we may not always see, but we know they are hard at work because Public Works is evident in everything we do and everywhere we go.

These Public Works professionals are comprised of individuals from state or local agencies, to engineers, consultants, contractors, inspectors, and vendors that work for these agencies. They are the men and women that make our quality of life better and improve the communities in which we live everyday by providing core services such as planning, building, managing and operating public works systems. Everywhere you look from our streets to our sewer systems, water systems, building maintenance, wastewater treatment, solid waste collection, airport operations and many other duties within our local communities has a Public Works professional working behind the scenes.

This Resolution is being offered in honor of those individuals who work in the Public Works field. Please join with me in recognition of the contributions and accomplishments made by Public Works professionals across the Commonwealth and across the nation, and to encourage all citizens of the Commonwealth to give the same recognition.

If you have any questions regarding this resolution, please contact Christine Zubeck in my office at 717-787-6123 or czubeck@pasen.gov. Thank you for your consideration.
